There's already a waiting list in Dubai for this $400,000 bed

There's already a waiting list in Dubai for this $400,000 bed

The alarm probably snoozes itself when you’re sleeping on the Grand Vividus.
Updated 19 Mar, 2021

Swedish luxury bedmaker Hastens announced the release of its new ‘Grand Vividus’ bed in Dubai on Friday for World Sleep Day.

The bed, designed by renowned Canadian designer Ferris Rafauli, has been two years in the making. If you want to get your hands on one, you might have to wait four to six months for your turn. You'll also have to have a spare $400,000 lying around.

The bed, available in black and navy blue, is crafted out of top-of-the-line wool, cotton and horsehair. Completely hand crafted, the bed and mattress are made to last at least half a century. There's already a waiting list for it in Dubai.

The outermost layer of the mattress has a checkered design, made out of woven cotton fabric, with a pattern displaying Hastens’ iconic horse emblem. The luggage-like base features leather edges, golden brass studs and a gold name plate. The mattress also features gold embroidery, reading “‘Grand Vividus” in one place and “Life Well Lived” in another. If we had $400,000 to spend on a bed, we might think our life was pretty well lived too.

Hastens, the official bed supplier for the Swedish royal family, has been in the luxury bed business for well over a century, initially starting as a saddle-manufacturer in 1852. Today they have customers all over the world, with great popularity among the high societies across borders and continents.

The first Grand Vividus was bought by four-time Grammy winner Drake. In his recent article feature on Architectural Digest, the God's Plan singer showed his bed and his — Rafauli designed and decorated — manor house in Toronto.

Completely insane extravagance in spending $400,000 in just a bed. It will not remove insomnia if you have, to give you a sound sleep. On the contrary, street beggar sleeping on street curb on a torn sheet, would have more sound sleep.

I would never let anyone use the bed if I buy one. It is too expensive for use. It will be a collectors item.

Petro Dollars an easy money is multiplying each day, the monarchs illusions grow even higher, hence $400,000 is a peanut for money- giants. The quality index of sleep(s) far better in labor class , which after exhausting,tired, sleep soundly on simple mattress, and awakes in morning, with fresh mind, happy to work again with zeal. The peace of mind rests in natural organic sleep, not in expensive beds. nor in sedative sleeping pills.

To sleep well you need a peaceful mind. Not an expensive bed. This bed is probably meant to vulgar display of wealth.

A product designed for brainless billionaires, nothing unusual, they get conned all the time. Look at us idiots, walking around wearing designer gears advertising the designers name and stupidly paying for doing so instead of charging the designer for our services. How stupid humans can get that too in the 21st Century.

@M. Saeed Its a game to engage people for desired results. Did you notice? At the time There is "Bed in dubai VS SpaceX in US". "Luxurious Life style/longest building competition in Dubai VS Automation/Robotics/AI in US" . Rely on western Inventions by DUBAI VS Western inventions and research By West" What will be the future of the nation who spends 400000 $ on just bed. It's not really hard to forecast.
